Sponsorship

Hi guys,

Don't really know where to post it, but here it goes.
I'm searching sponsorship for my team in Belgium. As sponsorship is a delicate topic, I don't want to start a plethora of off- topic discussions. Just interested in names of manufactures and/or suppliers who might be interested in sponsoring an overseas cricket team.

So if you're or your friend(s), family are sponsored, please let me know which companies.

For the moment the board and me are working on a kind of business plan so as soon as that's finished I'll address to companies.

If you get sponsored by a non-cricket company, you get money that you can put towards equipment: same outcome.

UK suppliers are not going to be interested in a Belgian club. Sorry, but that's the way it is: it would make no sense to them. It would make a lot more sense to find some local Belgian firms - lots of local exposure, positive press coverage...

Yeah I know, but cricket isn't that familiar in Belgium. The bets thing would be to find a supplier / manufacturer that wants to offer a sort of discount. Because, even if you find sharp edge prices on the web. The shipping to Belgium is quite high.

Yep, pub's probably your best bet as they stand to gain a fair bit out of it as well, as long as you make sure you spend enough time there.

the average australian/english pub doesn't look like or works like the pubs or cafés that you find in Belgium, espcially outside Brussels or Antwerp.

my suggestion would be call or mail Tim de Leede, he runs a cricket store and ask him if there is a possibility that you get gear for a cheaper price or something for your team, it wouldn't hurt to ask!

P.S. We beat England at Lord's
